Trading Posts!

Started with a game of scout basketball run by the leaders followed by an evening of trading posts.
For all our sins, trading posts is a good manic game which lasts the full night and gets accross some pretty basic skills.









Like ironing and folding the worst necker in the patrol (that'd be the APLs one)













Or putting together a trangia and making tea on it, cleaning it and returning it in ten minutes flat.













Or showing your penknife carving skills without stabbing yourself. In this case, the silly face is optional. We did kind of expect our goldfish carved carrots to be less dug out and more carved, but a sea scape in a carrot is very inventive...


And just when you think it is safe to come out, the SL breaks your arm and you have to make a sling for it.
Great sucess - followed by awarding of the Patrol Award and giving out the last set of notes for those people coming to Christmas camp this weekend.
